| the 99th precinct |

✩*• 2. •*✩

[3rd perspective, jakes p.o.v]

as jake starts to sit up slightly to lean against the headboard, amy growls slightly, almost sounding like a dog. or maybe more a
devilish wolf.

"aww, you want me to stay under the sheets with you?"

"no, that wasn't me. that was my stomach."

"oh ok then. at least i know where i stand... behind the kitchen counter"

amy's eyes roll slightly as a small smile tugs at her lips.

"speaking of kitchens..."

amy throws off the covers quickly and jumps out of bed, running into their kitchen. jake groans and chuckles under his breath before standing up himself.

walking down the streets of brooklyn with his newly wed wife attached to his arm, nothing could get better than this. as he looks across at amy, he smiles and she smiles back. it isn't long before their playful bickering begins again.

"what do you mean, of course i need a new binder! how do you expect me to reuse a binder. i'm not crazy!!"

just as jake was about to return with a devastating comeback, he sees charles leaving his apartment building with nikolaj and genevieve. when charles sees them walking up to him, he beams and struts over confidently, completely forgetting about his son and girlfriend.

"well hello there, mr and mrs peralta... please tell me you're pregnant amy, you know it's important. the world needs a mini jake!!"

amy and jake both scrunch up their faces in slight disgust, before jake replies:

"nice try charles. how's nikolaj?"

"great! he's starting to develop a taste for takoyaki. god knows i'm sick of his stupid cereal phase."

amy chimes in quickly "uhh, remind me again what takoyaki is??"

jake and charles both turn to amy before saying "fish donuts of course!". which results in jake muttering his dislike of them.

nikolaj and genevieve catch up to charles and smile brightly at the newly wed couple. charles turns suddenly when nikolaj tugs on the hem of his jacket, and he finally remembers they were going to breakfast.

"ah yes, well good day my valiant friends, for i must potter away now. tata!"

jakes face contorts in confusion, before remembering charles' BIG tell when he lies.

"charles... what's going on there buddy? you only speak posh when you're hiding something."

"what nonsense this lad may speak! now, shoo, my noble friends. for we must venture to the one and only 'starbucks'"

charles struts off in the opposite direction, once again forgetting about his family,
leaving them to quickly jog up to his small but quick strides.

amy stares at jake before laughing:

"charles is one of the oddest people. but what do you think he meant? i wonder what's wrong."

jake replies with a shrug and the two of them cross the street, heading back to their apartment.

-2 days later-

as jake and amy enter the 99th precinct elevator, he tightens his grip on her hand.

"can you come to the detectives level first? you can go to your level after, sergeant"

amy rolls her eyes yet again (something that's quickly becoming habit when with jake), and nods giving him a quick peck on the cheek. the elevator doors open and they enter the bullpen. captain holt looks up from his desk and watches them through the window in his office, before getting up and quickly walking over to them.

"detective peralta, sergeant santiago. i'm assuming your keeping your former last name sergeant?"

"indeed. it's too confusing having two peraltas in here. plus, who even wants that, right?" amy says with a chuckle, leaving jake and holt staring at her, shaking their heads slightly.

"anyway congratulations again, however there is an... issue. detective peralta, see me in my office"

jake nods and quickly replies "not if i see you first!" before amy whispers a quiet yet confused "what?"

"ok well i have to get going but i'll see you after work ok?"

jake kisses her quickly before scurrying off to his captains office.

"hey dad, you wanted to see me?" jake playfully quips, shutting holts door behind him.

the captain looks up slightly at him, before leaning back in his chair slightly. oh god, his must be important.

"yes... son. i need you to go to work a case with
detective diaz. a bank robbery recently occurred at Chase bank, and i need you two on the case."

"wow, seems like i'm getting slight reverse déjà vu here..."

"indeed. however they managed to get away with 10k in cash before a crew of police eventually got there. security footage shows only 4 people holding the hostages inside, yet there could've been more working on the inside. i believe you would want to work his case?"

"yes sir, it makes me so happy to help you bring these bad guys to jail. but i have to ask, is there-"

"no, peralta, you cannot go to the taylor swift concert nearby."

"damn"

heyooo
k just realised i kinda forgot about holt being commissioner (because let's face it, he probably got it right?). so oops!! let's just pretend it doesn't happen in this story aghh.
